Social Isolation
Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I offer a compassionate and understanding approach to those experiencing social isolation. I recognize the deep sense of solitude and disconnection that can envelop your world, leaving you feeling as though you're on the periphery of life’s tapestry. With warmth and empathy, I journey with you to explore the underlying emotions and circumstances that contribute to this sense of isolation. Our work together is focused on rebuilding connections — with yourself and others — and rediscovering the joy and fulfillment of meaningful relationships. It’s a pathway towards re-engaging with the world, not just physically, but with a heart open to the richness of shared human experiences.

Social Isolation
Kerry Hill
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA
I view social isolation and the societal oppression resulting from capitalism as being closely intertwined. Capitalism causes burn-out, guilt, and exhaustion. It alienates us from ourselves, from one another, and from what makes us feel creative, productive, and respected. The COVID pandemic in particular has revealed the layers of oppression and isolation that we have difficulty addressing; we have forgotten how to reach out for help, how to provide care, and how to develop a network of people that we can turn to for support and love. I believe that people are essentially good and desire community, and that the pain that comes from social isolation can be overcome by relearning skills and identifying what we need to lead a richer life. Therapy is a wonderful space to practice those skills.

Social Isolation
Dr. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel calm and confident in social situations, but instead you are so afraid that you will look stupid or be rejected that you have started avoiding spending time with others altogether. It has been hard for you to manage this level of social isolation on your own. Each day it becomes more difficult to focus on anything other than those worst-case scenarios that your mind so quickly creates. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus, and I help women find relief from social isolation. I can help you, too. Online psychotherapy is particularly helpful in the early stages of treatment for social isolation. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

Dynamic Growth Counseling LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LCAC, LPC, LPCC
At Dynamic Growth Counseling LLC, I offer a unique and compassionate approach to addressing social isolation through psychodynamic therapy. My practice integrates techniques from Gestalt therapy, mindfulness, and experiential methods, creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can deeply explore and address the underlying causes of their social isolation.
Understanding that social isolation can lead to feelings of loneliness, depression, and disconnection, my approach focuses on uncovering the unconscious processes that contribute to these feelings and behaviors. By delving into these deeper layers, clients gain insight into the root causes of their social isolation, whether stemming from past traumas, relational difficulties, or self-perceptions. This comprehensive understanding facilitates more effective and lasting healing.
What sets my practice apart is my commitment to genuine therapeutic connection and present-moment awareness. I emphasize the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship, where clients feel truly seen, heard, and understood. Through this connection, we work together to develop healthy interpersonal skills, enhance self-awareness, and build meaningful relationships.
At Dynamic Growth Counseling LLC, I tailor each treatment plan to the individual needs of my clients, ensuring they receive the most relevant and effective care. By integrating psychodynamic principles with experiential techniques, I help clients transform their struggles with social isolation into opportunities for personal growth and reconnection.
You will find a dedicated partner in your journey toward overcoming social isolation. Together, we will work to alleviate your feelings of loneliness, empower you with the tools and insights needed for lasting emotional well-being, and guide you toward a future filled with meaningful and fulfilling social connections.
